Today I got my Virginia boat safety certification. Which according to the coast guard instructor will be mandatory soon to operate a boat in the state. The book didn’t cover about a third of the test questions.
Fortunately, the coast guard lieutenant was very knowledgeable as were many in the class who already owned boats. The class is free to all and the better option than the online course IMO.
If they give you the option to take the class open or closed book take it closed. Passing for the open book test is 90% for closed its 78% on 60 questions.
